OK I don't know if this will work but lets clean this up a bit and try a
couple things.  First comment out the lines for the "image=/vmlinuz.old"
section and comment out "lba32" and run /sbin/lilo, post any error
messages.  Have you tried upgrading your bios so that the whole disk is
seen?  Maybe lilo and the bios see the disk geometry in different ways.
Are you 100% sure /dev/hda3 is your "/" partition?  What does "df -h"
say?
